"Photography records the gamut of feelings written on the human face, the beauty of the earth and skies that man has inherited, and the wealth and confusion that man has created. It is a major force in explaining man to man." -- Edward Steichen

Mini Chocolate-Cream Cheese Cupcakes
During August I shot another round of cupcakes for an upcoming Cupcakes/Cake Cookbook. Each recipe in the book has been photographed and taste-tested for excellence. These Mini Chocolate-Cream Cheese Cupcakes are a chocolate lover's heaven. They are moist and just about melt in your mouth. I enjoyed both shooting the image and eating quite a few afterwards!

Memorial Day in Boston
Spent a fun afternoon in Boston today with a friend. This Memorial Day could not have been more perfect weather-wise, just a delight to walk around and take photos. This photo was taken in Boston Common. There were 33,000 flags representing the 33,000 soldiers who have lost their lives in the wars. It was an absolutely stunning sight; and, at the same time, very sad to think that each one represented the loss of an individual's life.

Egret Reflection

I have to admit that I stalked this egret for a week until it was within a close enough range to get a decent image. The egrets are fascinating to watch. They are the most patient birds when hunting for food. They will wait and wait and wait until a small fish swims by, then with lightning speed, they dunk their heads and return with their meal. I watched one egret that was laying its head on a branch, and thought it had taken a nap, but no, it was just waiting for the opportunity to grab lunch!

Old Route 58 in Carver, MA
Took a lovely, leisurely ride down to the Cape Cod Canal on Route 58. Along the way, we came across a short section of "Old Route 58", also known as "Old Main Street" in Carver, Massachusetts. Brought back memories of being a young kid going for rides and riding down this 'country' road, with the two travel lanes separated by tall pine trees, woods on either side, picnic tables along the way to stop and eat a bite of lunch.

Frosty Farm of Robert Frost
Took a recent trek up to the Derry, New Hampshire area and came across the Farm of Robert Frost, a National Historic Landmark. The great poet and his family owned this idyllic farm from 1900 to 1911.
Frost's own assessment of his years on the Derry farm can be found in a letter written to Robert Chase in 1952:
"I might say the core of all my writing was probably the five free years I had there on the farm down the road a mile or two from Derry Village toward Lawrence. The only thing we had was time and seclusion. I couldn't have figured on it in advance. I hadn't that kind of foresight. But it turned out right as a doctor's prescription." --(From: Selected Letters of Robert Frost, Lawrence Thompson, ed. New York: Holt, 1964) Ref: Quote from the Robert Frost Farm website.
If you find yourself in the Derry area, stop by this classic American farmhouse and see where Robert Frost spend ten years of his life, teaching, writing, and farming. More information, hours, history and directions can be found at the Robert Frost Farm website.
